Taxi Driver Was Suspended For Ejecting Gay Passenger

A yellow NYC cabbie who refused to drive a man when he learned he was gay — was found guilty on an infraction that got him a 10-day suspension, and fine of  $1105, before he was allowed back on the road.

The city’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings affirmed a complaint by the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) that Martin Morrison violated three agency rules – unjustified refusal of service, discourtesy, and performing an act against the best interest of the public according to the NY Post.

The incident took place in June.

Yellow cab driver Morrison picked up two passengers – a man and a woman – on the corner of Fifth Avenue and East 43rd Street in Manhattan said Gay Star News. “Morrison turned around to ask the man if he was gay. When the unidentified man confirmed his sexuality, the taxi driver said he doesn’t drive gay people. He then crossed the intersection abruptly and let out the passengers, who had to get another taxi.”

TLC officials say Morrison’s behavior goes against the morals of the agency.

“The individual’s behavior in this instance was inappropriate and wholly unacceptable, and the penalties are appropriately severe,” said TLC Commissioner Meera Joshi in statement.

Alyssa Edwards Takes ‘Architectural Digest’ Inside Her ‘Magical Fantasy Bedroom’ and Home: WATCH

Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson (aka Drag Race alum and Dancing Queen star Alyssa Edwards) took Architectural Digest inside the dining room where he spends holidays, his cocktail bar, his zen living room, his karaoke machine, his kitchen and chef, the House of Edwards resort where Pride parties happen, the Justin’s bedroom and of course, Alyssa Edwards’ magical fantasy bedroom.

Said Johnson: “You were all expecting Pee Wee’s playhouse and Punky Brewster’s treehouse, and that’s far from the truth, because even though I’m an extra extra character, I’m very minimal when I’m at home.”

Edwards recently spoke with Towleroad’s Bobby Hankinson about taking on Dancing Queen and revealing the man behind the drag: “I feel like you guys are getting 100 percent of me rather than just the Alyssa Edwards character you see on stage … I’ve always been real private with my dating life, so maybe I was a little hesitant of being judged, but also it’s an important part of who I am. There’s another little baby Justin somewhere else in the world, and we are at a time when it’s important to stand up with a strong backbone. At this point, in this time, be yourself, be proud of who you are. Be strong. If I have a platform to stand on, let me just crank this microphone on high and use it to the best of my ability.”
